Europe 1999

In May of 1999, Betz, Scott and I flew to Frankfurt, Germany.  We were there to attend the wedding of Henning Reichardt on June 5th.  We went a couple of weeks early to sightsee in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria.  We spent the first night in Frankfurt at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel.  We then drove to Paris where we spent a couple of days.  After leaving Paris we drove southwest to Orleans, Tours and then went in a southeasterly direction to Chãteauroux where we visited some chateaus.  We continued southeast to Clermont-Ferrand and then on to Lyon.  From there we drove to Geneve Switzerland, Lausanne and Bern.   We continued to Interlaken and spent a couple of days in Grindelwald which was probably the most scenic part of our trip.  We then went to Zurich and then to Innsbruck, Austria where we stayed at the Klamm, a pension hotel, which was very nice.  Then it was on to Munich where we had beers at the Hofbräuhaus.  The waitress can carry four beer steins in each hand.  We stayed at the Senator Hotel in Munich.  From there we traveled northbound back toward Frankfurt, traveling through Augsberg, Nurnberg and Würzburg,  On the way we stopped in Dachau and saw the concentration camp.  We stopped in Rothenburg and toured the Criminal Museum.  We stayed at the Hotel Hornburg Garni while were in Rothenburg.  We attended Henning’s wedding in Würzburg.

Unfortunately we didn’t go through the photos and identify each one back in 1999 so what you are seeing is all the photos with very little identification as to where each photo was taken.
